"Two Spirits" A Must See On PBS To Generate Transgender Awareness

I saw this on Facebook and want to share this with everyone. Please feel free to share it with everyone you know. Greetings! Making the film TWO SPIRITS began when I sat with Fred's mother at his grave and she poured out her heart to me. The experience transformed me from someone who had very little awareness, to someone who fully embraces gender diversity, because I see how much it adds to all of our lives. The tragic story of a mother's loss of her child to a brutal murder has challenged us to answer the question she raised, "Why are people killed for being who they are?" And learning that there was a time when the world wasn't simply divided into male and female, and that there is a place of honor in many Native American cultures for people across a spectrum of sexuality and gender expression, has been a gift. TWO SPIRITS is changing peoples' minds and hearts at film festivals worldwide, in classrooms, and in networks of families and friends. It has also been named as a film that "makes a significant contribution" by the America Library Association, but, we can't reach a significant audience of millions of people without your help. TWO SPIRITS airs nationally on PBS-Independent Lens on June 14, 2011. A typical audience for the program is the 1.5 million range, but if we join together to spread the word early, it's possible to reach as many as 6 million people. I'm meeting with the PBS team this week to begin our combined efforts to have 6 million people see the film. Can you imagine the impact that many people could have? We Need Your Help Now We're grateful for all you've done to help get TWO SPIRITS to this point. Now, we have the opportunity to reach 6 million, galvanizing many more hearts and minds and generating action for change. Please Take a Moment to--SHARE the film with others as widely as possible now. With your support, the reach of the film will grow exponentially! Original article
